Our Teachers

All of our teachers are passionate about music and the development of children.

They create a fun, informal, social setting that spurs engagement and supports each child's musical development.

Each of the teachers brings something unique to their classes and that diversity is one of the strengths of the Music Together® program.

Dina DiMarco

My name is Dina DiMarco, I’m from the small town of Wethersfield Connecticut. I currently attend Western Connecticut State University as a Music Major with a Theater and Psychology Minor. My main musical studies concentrate on Jazz Vocals, but I intend to get my Masters in Music Therapy once I graduate. I’ve worked with kids all my life and I’ve loved doing it. I started babysitting when I was 12 and I still nanny or sit to this day! My love for music and the arts began when I started playing piano at 6 years old, and from then on it became my entire life. Some hobbies of mine are playing music with my friends, hiking, and doing improv with my schools
